In 2008 marks 10 years of opening an account in Facebook. It's enough to know the tastes of your most beloved social network contacts in that time. You know what kind of film sees Luis, Teresa reading books and listening groups Pedro. It is normal to see them share their idols related material, leaving aside their opinions.
I want to take a risk, so I will concentrate on the rock genre. So I dare say that among the most shared and commented on by my surroundings 2.0 musicians are the Beatles, Rolling Stones, Metallica, Soda Stereo, Cafe Tacuba, Megadeth, Feeling Dead Zapato 3, Dermis Tatu, Pink Floyd, Led Zeppelin. They are some of the most common, not only in social networks but also in conversations face to face.
Mediatically usually have figures that although it has done important things are not great reference for me immediate surroundings. For example, I have friends who know who Johnny Cash. Considered a symbol of irreverence the famous photo in painting a dove to the camera. They are also aware that Joaquin Phoenix was played very well in the film Walk the Line. But beyond that, they know little of his work. Same with Leonard Cohen. They were counted on the fingers that on Facebook regretted his death last year. Most were avid readers who felt what happened to those considered rockers.
There is a composer who for some ten years ago fascinates me, but my admiration for his music has had little resonance among mine: Bruce Springsteen, although sometimes there is too much attention to certain trade press in much of what he does. That if he took out a book, which will tour dates 1000, producing more and more money when out with the E Street Band with singer who is part of the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. Do not know anyone that passionate music singer. I've never heard anyone excited by one of the deceased saxophone solos Clarence Clemons. Nothing to do. They know it is a reference, but nothing more.
However, there are videos Boss, as they call Springsteen, who become viral, especially for some gesture of the artist to someone in the audience during a concert.
Over here I share one that I just discovered. During a presentation in 2013, someone asked the group versionaran "You Never Can Tell", the classic Chuck Berry many know that Tarantino used it for Uma Thurman and John Travolta in Pulp Fiction dance.
Springsteen, not wanting to disappoint, encourages his peers to take risks, because the subject is not part of the repertoire. The cameras record then how to tune the instruments and decide what the appropriate note to venture to that classic rock. The result? You can see below.
